• School given defibrillator

  Sat 01 Mar 2014
  On Friday 28th February Dave and school nurse Faye Fuller attended the HeartSafe launch event at Leicester Tigers stadium on Welford Road. This was to promote CPR and heart attack recovery in the County. Dr Doug Skehan spoke to a packed audience and each school present was given a £2,000 defibrillator to keep in school. The statistics on heart attack recovery following correct CPR and use of a defibrillator prove the value of such training. Later training for all staff will follow.
